We finally managed to cycle around Lake Plauer today. We always drove ahead of the rain clouds and so it actually turned out to be a dry affair. Overall, the routes were easy to cycle. For us, it's definitely worth repeating. 😃👍

.. Something for the last day. Bikes on the car .. off to the lake as planned ..
Train station - Round tour ..
To the south. Looking for something, as often, the paths are often not quite so good, including cobblestones ... phew, then "at your own risk" ... ?? For understanding: Navigation via Flow App. Certainly a certain …

Tour around the lake. Lots of forest paths, unpaved, sometimes narrow. But it's still an idyllic ride through the old deciduous forest, always keeping an eye on the road. 👍

Oh yes, there are mosquitoes too, 🤪🧐not a few. 😉Sometimes you go along the road …

September 22, 2024,Plau am See – Runde um den Plauer See

Truly a remarkable tour around the lake and certainly one of the best trips we have done together. Very varied with some sections along busy roads but mostly through forests or on East German roads with concrete tracks as was common in earlier times...
An absolutely recommendable tour.
☀️😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Easy round with the e-bike. However, there are also routes through the forest that are a little more difficult to navigate. We were out and about at the beginning of May and were lucky enough to see 17 white-tailed eagles from the Moorox lookout tower. The barn swallows nesting on the tower are wonderful to watch.

We have done a lot of signposted tours, but this was by far the worst. It is absolutely not suitable for touring bikes, as the majority of the route has no surface and you have to ride over countless roots and stones. In addition, it is so narrow in places that you have to dismount.
Absolutely not recommended and I …

Today circled the Plauer See. The cycle paths here were not as well developed as on the Müritz, but it was shorter for me. After the tour, a heavy rain shower came down, lucky again.
